While I am not entirely sure what kind of instant acceleration you are looking for, I can tell you that (until you learn your car) leaving the automatic transmission in auto will be your best bet. At this point, the car is smarter than you are when it comes to what it needs to do to accelerate quickly.
If you insist on leaving the car in manual mode (well, you should have just bought a manual), then you should try to get it around 4000 RPMS in the lowest gear you can and try to hit it. Keep in mind the car always feels faster from the passenger seat because you’re not bracing for the car to take off.
0-60 is really tire/pressure dependent.
You need to learn your car more, but most importantly learn it safely.

The kind of acceleration I’m looking for is instant like acceleration, when I floor it in automatic, it does fly, but it doesn’t fly immediately as I hit it to the floor, it makes me feel as if I’m not part of the car. I want it to feel as if I hit the peddle, the car will work with me as I adjust my foot. Similar to a blower I assume or how the ZL1’s are. Thanks so much, I am starting to improve more and more, I actually started getting better at my shifts, I found a very short clip of what exactly I’m trying to accomplish regarding acceleration off of rolls/cruising. Idk how to post a video/small clip on here, so I can show everyone what I’ve been trying to accomplish since the last thread.

Not sure if that’ll pop up, but I just cropped a video and uploaded that as an example of what I’ve been trying to do and practice on. I’m trying to accelerate and pass people with authority, and that’s why I’ve been having trouble in the past (and somewhat still now) accelerating, and I’m not attempting it near people, I’m trying to get better at accelerating like that so I can pass people around me.
